In depth
Verdict
Two of the five runners hails from the in-form yard of Jamie Snowden but Redbridge Gold is returning from a break. Floral Bouquet was second at Worcester after pulling up at Ffos Las but Madera Mist’s second at Cheltenham looks stronger form. Dolly Dancer landed a gamble upped to 3m at Hexham and there may be more to come but she is taking on stronger opposition here. MOLLY CAREW won for the third time in four starts at Haydock and she is well worth another try over this longer trip.
